Julie Shank, NMLS 1733485 Spoiler alert: I’ve moved…a lot. Montana taught me how to drive any motorized vehicle on a snowy mountain pass, shoot guns, and withstand extreme temperatures.

Helping you understand your options & make smarter mortgage decisions—without the BS or pressure. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas before moving to the beautiful big skies of Montana for a couple of years in High School. I then spent a decade in Colorado, which taught me how to get better at driving in the snow, explore the beauty of tiny mountain towns, and learn how to navigate single-motherhood. After graduating from the University of Colorado, my daughter and I found ourselves in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest. We spent 11 years in Olympia, Washington where we learned the joys of hiking the rainforested mountains, appreciating sunshine, and getting excited that “the mountain is out!” It’s also where I gave birth to my youngest daughter, where I became deeply entrenched in the military community, and where I became a loan officer. While my home is now back in the slow, country life of small town Texas, I spend many, many weeks every year in both Colorado and Washington. I have a deep passion for helping people achieve the dream of homeownership without regard to their income or social status. I’m like a dog with a hambone when helping my clients get the best home financing for their situation. Navigating mortgages, finance, and the home-buying process are far too often confusing and overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. I make it my personal mission to eliminate confusion and ensure a peaceful, educational process from the first phone call or text message to the closing table. There’s no shortage of loan officers or companies who will sell you on a loan. I’m determined to get you the RIGHT loan, of your choice, for your unique situation. Working in the mortgage industry requires a strong, powerful presence and a willingness to be relentless in the pursuit my clients’ goals. I vow to be an unparalleled ally in your corner. The process will be positive, educational, and always centered on you and your family. In the end, that’s what all of those years of experience add up to: learning how to take my clients from Point A from Point B, even if there’s no roadmap to get started. Everything is figureoutable.

That ain’t from your lender. Read the fine print and send it to me (or your lender) before you do anything.

One of the more irritating things about buying a home is that it puts a bulls-eye on your back for some Halloween-scary-looking junk mail 🙄

And y’all, some of these companies are VERY good at making their advertisements look like official notices.

They know your name, your lender, your loan amount, and sometimes even your closing date.

Which makes you assume they’re contacting you about something important.

NOPE.

A whole lot of that information is publicly available, and companies use it to market everything from mortgage protection products to copies of documents you already have.

I tell my clients all the time: READ THE FINE PRINT. And if you’re not sure what you’re looking at, send it to me.

I’d much rather spend two minutes looking at a picture of your mail than have you give some sketchball your money.

Everybody’s house is worth all the dollhairs until somebody asks why.

The appraisal, unfortunately, does not plead the FIF.

Most people start a home search with a price.
The number on a listing. The max on a pre-approval letter. Whatever their friend paid.

I like to start with a different question: what do you actually want leaving your account every month, with room left for the rest of your life?

Because you shop for a price. You live with a payment.

That’s why I built this. Plug in YOUR monthly number, your down payment, and a rate, and it works backwards to an estimated home price. No login. No “enter your email to see results.”

Comment BUDGET and I’ll send it to you.

People can be VERY generous with advice about what you should do with a house.

And sometimes “here’s what worked for me” quietly turns into “here’s what you should do.”

You might wanna pump those breaks.

What worked for them might make sense for you. OR your income, timing, situation, and actual life might be completely different.

As a strategist, I want to understand what you’re trying to accomplish before we start determining how to accomplish it.

Including what you WANT. That’s the goal.
